General Biology Ch. 9

Front 1

electron transport chain

Back 1

series of proteins that uses the high-energy electrons from the Kreb cycle to convert ADP to ATP

Front 2

cell respiration

Back 2

process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen

Front 3

fermentation

Back 3

process of releasing energy from food molecules in the absence of oxygen

Front 4

glycolysis

Back 4

process in which one molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid

Front 5

calorie

Back 5

amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius

Front 6

NAD+

Back 6

electron carrier involved in glycolysis (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)

Front 7

kreb cycle

Back 7

process in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions

Front 8

anaerobic

Back 8

process that does NOT require oxygen

Front 9

aerobic

Back 9

process that requires oxygen
